What is a linear inequality?

Back

A linear inequality is a mathematical statement that compares a linear expression to a value using inequality symbols (like <, >, ≤, or ≥).

What does it mean for a point to be a solution to a linear inequality?

Back

A point is a solution to a linear inequality if it makes the inequality true when substituted into the expression.

How do you determine if a point is a solution to a linear inequality?

Back

Substitute the coordinates of the point into the inequality and check if the statement is true.

What is the difference between a linear equation and a linear inequality?

Back

A linear equation shows equality (e.g., y = 2x + 1), while a linear inequality shows a range of values (e.g., y < 2x + 1).

What does the symbol '>' mean in a linear inequality?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than' and indicates that the left side is larger than the right side.
